Community Pharmacy Lincolnshire – The voice of Lincolnshire NHS pharmacies

Welcome to the website for Community Pharmacy Lincolnshire.

As part of the PSNC update to the website, all LPCs are being encouraged to use a standard menu template as far as possible to mange their websites. This means some information is now located under different top headings compared to the previous website.

Information on Essential, Advanced and Commissioned Services as well as PQS information can be found under 'NHS Contract'. Other service related information is located under 'Local Pharmacy Services'.
The Resources and About us sections remain as top menu headings in line with the old website.
The 'Quick Links' menu will take you to Community Pharmacy Lincolnshire Newsletters and Unplanned Closure Reporting information.

Welcome and Resources for New Pharmacy Contractors

We are aware there are a number of new contractors across the county following recent pharmacy business sales. We have added a news item to our website that includes a link to slides from a recent joint webinar by GPhC, NHSE and Community Pharmacy England to support new contractors. You can access the news item at the link below.
